Thanks to The Vancouver Sun for this rather otherworldly photo of a golden sunrise over Vancouver this week. It was taken from the top of Cypress Mountain looking down over the city. For the past two weeks down at sea level we have all been hidden in fog, whilst the skiers above have been enjoying some extraordinary views. Usually we talk about having our head in the clouds but not this time. I've written before about Vancouver's good bones but this endless fog is unusual and has been hiding most of them. As a treat for getting through my 'colouring book', I have bought two tickets for Carmen in Vancouver in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure if it will be a treat for Gary but I've never been to an opera and think it's about time!
I feel as if I'm a little bit in transition now as I wait for the next phase. I have heard from the Cancer Clinic in Victoria about what happens next and I will be starting my radiation on February 17th. As with the colours, it seems I'm going for the record and have a long stretch of over six weeks finishing on April 2nd. That means that I will be staying at the Cancer Lodge there Monday to Fridays and coming home at weekends. Although it is only for a few minutes each time, it is every day so maybe I'll be like a piece of crispy bacon by the time I finish. I have to go to Victoria because they don't have the machine here. People pay the earth to go to the city with the most flowers in Canada so spring is good timing.
